| Russia warns US not to send arms supplies to Ukraine |
| 2015-02-06 |
| Donetsk military spokesman Lt. Colonel Eduard Basurin said a day or two ago that Ukrainians are already using NATO artillery rounds, specifically the 155mm. [Iran Press TV] Russia has warned the United States against sending weapons to Ukraine, saying the move would cause "colossal damage" to ties between the two countries. Moscow is "seriously concerned" over discussions in the West about sending arms supplies to the Kiev government, which is embroiled in fierce festivities with pro-Russian forces in the east of Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry front man, Alexander Lukashevich, said on Thursday. "Without a doubt, if such a decision is realized, it will cause colossal damage to US-Russian relations, especially if the residents of Donbass (Donetsk and Lugansk regions) start to be killed by American weapons," Lukashevich added. |

| #2 If one's a "anti-colonialist": would one view a war between USA & Russia, one fought in Europe---with massive attendant destruction, as a good thing? |

| #1 What more is there to damage in the relationship between our two countries? We already are back at the cold war. Wanting to go hot, Putie? I would say that isn't the smartest thing you could do. |
